| Summary: | [The author's point of departure is the fact that both “liberals” and “conservatives” appeal to John Henry Newman to support their positions.

His own theology was characterized by a continual struggle to maintain a tensile unity between opposing tendencies and concerns. Hence, neither liberals nor conservatives can simply claim Newman as their own. In his quest for unity, Newman can serve as a model for our theologically polarized age.] |
